The Garden of Eden is in the second chapter of the Book of Genesis.
The first narrative (not "story") in Genesis is God's creation of the universe. This subject is contained in the first two chapters of Genesis, with chapter 1 giving a brief overview and ch.2 getting down to detail (Rashi commentary, Gen.2:8).While Judaism has always seen the Torah as an intricate tapestry that nonetheless had one Divine source, some modern authors such as Wellhausen (the father of modern Biblical-criticism, 1844-1918) have suggested artificially chopping up the narrative and attributing it to various authors, despite the Torah's explicit statement as to its provenance (Exodus 24:12, Deuteronomy 31:24). This need not concern believers, since his claims have been debunked one by one, as Archaeology and other disciplines have demonstrated the integrity of the Torah. No fragments have ever been found that would support his Documentary Hypothesis, which remains nothing more than an arbitrary claim:
